Fixed that for you. If you're gonn'a mock the stylization, at least get the style involved right.

Seriously though, there's the HD collection for playing the classic series, and the reboot is an experiment to see what can revitalize the series. It may continue, it may not, even if it's a slam hit. Capcom is testing the waters because DMC4 was so lambasted for being so generic in the storytelling and for pretty much using the same combat set as DMC3...and yet then complaints about the change in the system for DmC has been rampant from the haters as well...some people are never happy.

In case you have not notice, these gentlemen are yearning for a future for DMC and are not interested in dwelling in the past with the HD collection. DmC is not offering them the future they seek for their beloved franchise. If Capcom wanted to revitalize the series, they could of done it with the already established and unfortunately badly written canon. Which is in dire need of salvation.

D-Sparda has an excellent point regarding on what the fans want. Reason being, yes we have the HD but honestly they could have at the very least made everything with a graphic overhaul, and providing a better extra content area where, instead of pictures and rendered CG images they could have thrown in a better understanding of the original story. Sure DMC 4 didn't provide that dark atmosphere like the previous three did but it was still enjoyable to me. The combat system was almost towards perfection. Some tweaks could have made it better and possibly adding execution finishes to add to the stylish look. DMC 3 had the most to offer as far as combat, combos and stylish had to offer. It was Capcom's fault for the reaction based on the generic story, instead of that they could have easily explained things but didn't. We, as gamers will never be pleased, because that is just how we are. I see DMC to be something along the lines of being gore-ish and action. Not having someone have **** you battle against a demon, I'd prefer action over words to describe that amount of vulgar with a one liner right after it.

It's very easy to see why many will avoid PunkMayCry & jump towards MetalGearRising as the DevilMayCry 5 substitution.​
Konami & Platinum Games did something that Capcom refused or wasn't capable of doing. ​

You keep making that error, please stop confusing punk culture for emo. two different things, thank you.

And...all Plantium seems to produce is clones of DMC, since that's what got Kamiya his big mark on the map back in 2001, so...maybe you should look at that P* seems to just retrend something that has been copied over and over, where as at least Capcom is willing to take a risk with DmC. If it works, great! Frachise shows that it can be continued, new audience is brought in, and likely, a chance for the classic series to get back underway, and maybe have a second AU series run as well, much like how there are three different continuities for Megaman running simultaneously.

But if it doesn't, especially because of people not willing at all to give it any kind of chance...you reallize that would possibly murder the entire franchise...both sides.

I didn't think they were shutting the door on continuing from DMC4. There is still a chance that they could do DMC and DmC. On the other hand, they could just do DMC if DmC sells badly, but if the sales figures are low then it could be the end of the DMC brand forever. No sequels for either version of DMC. :O

MetalGearRising gives gamers a separate branch leaving MetalGearSolid 5 to come

This does make sense because like you stated MGSRR is just a side game and if it fails then the original can continue with nothing to disturb it. I will be getting MGSRR for sure rather than the reboot. I just want to know what 'new' people it brought in honestly. I know a few that cancelled the preorder based on the gameplay, look, feel and overall mechanics of it and didn't like it. If DmC makes a hit then yea they will continue it towards DmC 2 rather than again not adhearing to the fans wanting DMC 5. Capcom fails to see that there is still potential for the original rather than bypassing it and focusing on this other installment. I really don't see how this reboot is any better or added any improvement for the series rather than rehashing and rebooting the story and its characters. The gameplay is watered-down and slow for me, 4 weapons that I know of and just alot of things left out that I don't see it very entertaining along with its absurd vulgar. Sure others will say differently but that's just my outlook for it and to why I'm getting MGSRR than this. Not saying this game will do alright. It's atmosphere is juicy rather than being dark and you would think Hell would be alittle more demonic rather than a morphing world. Honestly if this Donte and the real Dante were to go at it, the original would surely kick this ones ass, regardless of it's angel and demonic heritage.

If it fails then it's Capcoms fault. I blame them and nothing more, I'd blame NT for taking up the offer thinking that they would do better.
 
It would rest us if they would confirm DMC 5 rather than wait for this reboot to hit or miss. That way we know it will happen and then both sides can be satisfied. Knowing what the fans really want, Capcom should take up on this offer rather than wait and if they plan to continue with this series then they should consider listening rather than ignoring.

That's part of the denial i'm talking.

People not willing to give it a chance, people not willing to give it a chance.
Many of us have seen videos, read the information given by Capcom, have played the demo from sun up to sundown & told that to the supporters.
And you still vomit those very words, especially because of people not willing at all to give it any kind of chance.

Please please please understand that there are those that's tried it, read about it, understood it, sniffed, licked it, tossed it in the air & went to the beach with it.
And just don't like it.
Don't find it appealing.
Not interested in it.
Can't stand it.
It tastes like old cheese & we're lactose intolerant.
It's the ugly sweater.
it's a big NO!
People aren't going to rent it or buy it when THERE's NO APPEAL for them.
The chance was given & it didn't meet everyone's expectations.
End of story.

Or maybe there are some people who are still ignorant about the whole matter. You get the drift.

To simply put it, I agree 100 f*cking percent!!!
We tried it and don't like, easy to say and put it.

And please stop forcing those to other people. I never whine, bitch and moan like some people around there. Ugh.

Ok so your saying if people don't like it, then they're just ignorant ?
It's either you like it or your ignorant ?

See that should stop.
Stop assuming anyone that dislikes something just means they're clueless on the matter.
Learn to except a difference of opinion otherwise you end up forcing yours on others.

Human opinion is FLAWED. It can be changed from time to time, depending on any situation or any matter. Also, immature insults =/= opinion.

So what the heck are YOU doing? Are you inciting a flame war?
 
I think the new DmC looks great so far and I'm excited about it. Will it replace the original series? Probably. And it's a damn shame, because there are so many plotholes that so many fans wants filled out first. But seriously, guys, the original series was like a swizz cheese with all those plotholes. The story was really shallow and Capcom generally didn't take the original storyline seriously. They jumped back and forth from game to game, because the original series wasn't about the storyline, it was about the stylish action! It was about kicking some butts and have fun! It wasn't a deep game, it was entertainment.

But games today have become artpieces. They have become deep with storylines that can be compared to epic books and movies. And Capcom realized that DMC couldn't compete with that, especially not in the western part of the world. That is why DmC was born. If it was necessary? Yes it was. With the goals Capcom had in mind, it was indeed necessary. The DMC fanbase is a minority, a very loud and clingy minority, but a nminority none the less. And Capcom couldn't keep catering to that minority, because they simply don't have the expenses to do so. Yes, this is also about money. It always is and no one can deny that. Everything in this world costs money and it is an important part of the keeping the gaming industry running. You cannot make a game without money and a game, like every other product, should make some profit to become succesful.

If DmC becomes succesfull, then yeah, a sequal could be underway and yeah, the original series could be put on the shelf forever. But instead of becoming begrudged fans, enjoy and remember Devil May Cry for what it once was. Everything has to come to an end at some point, but instead of hating on the replacements, be remniscent of the good things the original series brought. I for one embrace changes and embrace the new things that DmC brings along, but that does not mean I will ever forget all the fun I've had with the original series. I do not choose between the two, instead I enjoy both. Because I can find it within myself to do so, I cna make room for both and I will not become a hating fanboy who cannot accept changes.

All in all, in the end... it's just a game.
